When I get my PS4 soon I am pretty sure this is going to be my first purchase. I have been watching this guys RTTS on Youtube for the PS3 version. A lot of the animations, especially the running animations, look a lot smoother than in years past.

I am glad they got rid of the arbitrary goals that you had to meet and focus more on your entire body of work. I just started back my RTTS on MLB '10 and I hate being punished for some stupid goal even though I am leading the team in hitting.

From some of the info that the OP linked. I will fully welcome this feature.

•Dynamic Difficulty (All platforms) – Baseball is a sport the dedicated love to master, but also one that can intimidate newcomers. In this year’s version of The Show, players who don’t feel like veterans yet can opt to start on a lower difficulty level and jump right in. An advanced logic system will then grade the user’s skill and adjust the challenge level up or down based on their overall performance. Batting and pitching are evaluated separately, so it’s possible for one to increase in difficulty while the other doesn’t, or even reduces. On-screen notifications will advise when the difficulty setting has been adjusted.

I had the worst luck ever last night on my RTTS 2010. I was in the midst of great first full season as 3B for the Braves MLB club and hit a triple off the RF wall and broke my forearm sliding into third base and was put on the 60 Day DL. Five games back from that I sprained my ACL sliding into second base.

ouch.. if you're pre ordering mlb 14 for ps4 you get 1600 in game currency and you could use that to get of the DL

I noticed the same thing. The game looks smooth and really looks well. The load times were long on the old games as well. You would think with all the mandatory HDD installs that the load time would be greatly reduced.

I have the game for PS3. It does work. Just don't let yourself get to Hall of Fame. I went 20 straight at-bats without a hit on the Hall of Fame setting.

When did they take out the business side of the Franchise mode? This year's edition is the first I've purchased since 2010 and I'm missing the business side of it all. Setting ticket prices, concessions, parking, marketing, etc. Wish that was added in :(

How quickly does it adjust the difficulty level? Is it a per inning thing? Per game? Per series?

And his would one keep from getting to the highest difficulty setting?

Well I've only used it on RTTS and it's done on a per at-bat basis. If you come out slugging doubles and homers right out of the gate, then it goes up quicker.

Not sure about that second question, but it goes up and down based on how you are hitting. I don't do that 0-20 bullshit with how good my hitter is. I believe you can reset it, but if you reset it, it goes all the way down to rookie.

There is a natural progession to it as well. Like you don't just jump from rookie to veteran to all-star. There are micro difficulties within there as well. For me, the lower/mid-tier All-Star level works best. I pride myself on making contact and I'm going to swing at anything in the strike zone, so it helps for me. Hall of Fame seems to make you miss pitches that you clear should have made contact with.
